Vadodara  :

For the first time in the city, a motivational programme was held for street vendors on Monday. The United Forum organized the session for the vendors as well as students and teachers of madrasas.

Motivational trainer Saeed Ahmed, who has conducted several such sessions in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka, conducted the sessions. Ahmed trained the gatherings on body language, ethics, upkeep of the outlets of street vendors, self-motivation, language and other soft skills.

Ahmed said the theme of the sessions revolved around working for one’s heart and not merely stomach. “If you make your work your hobby and passion, you are happy and content with it,” said Ahmed.

Zuber Gopalani, who had organized the event, said a quarrel he saw between a street vendor and his customer prompted him to hold the event. “Clearly, the street vendor was going to lose business,” said Gopalani.
